## Rawlings ICON Baseball Bat

Known for engineering some of the most trusted and technologically advanced equipment in the game, Rawlings consistently pushes the envelope to meet and exceed the expectations of players at all levels. The ICON offers state-of-the-art features in a carbon composite bat—all of which highlight Rawlings’ commitment to quality, performance, and durability.

  

Perfect bat for: Power hitters who want a perfect blend of heft and control.

### Key features include:

-   In/Tense Carbon Composite: Ensuring maximum barrel size while maintaining optimal stiffness.
    
-   Zero-Loss Collar: Creates a smooth connection between the handle and barrel to eliminate any drag of vibration.

### Top competitors comparison: [Marucci CAT X Composite](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/baseball/bats/marucci/cat-x-composite/l175805) and the [Louisville Slugger Meta](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/baseball/bats/louisville-slugger/meta/l59403)

  

The big barrels on the Marucci CAT X Composite and the Louisville Slugger META, both feature flexible-feeling two-piece composite constructions. In comparison, the 2023 Rawlings Icon stands out with its In/Tense carbon composite construction which maximizes barrel size while maintaining it’s stiffness, perfect for big hitters. Each bat caters to specific league regulations and player preferences, with the CAT X Composite and META offering composite technology, while the Rawlings Icon features a zero-loss collar and connection joint creating a smooth connection between handle and barrel.  
  

### Progression of the Rawlings ICON Baseball Bat:

  
2023 is the first year of the Rawlings ICON.  
  

### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

**PROS**

-   The Rawlings Icon is a beast on the field. Hits are powerful and consistent.
    
-   The sweet spot on this thing is like a magnet for the ball. It's tough as nails and can take a beating, which is exactly what you need in the game.
    
-   It's light and easy to swing. The ICON gives me control on the barrel. It feels lighter than other -3 bats. There is ZERO sting on this carbon composite. The ICON has a HUGE sweet spot and pop
    

**CONS**

-   The stock grip is just kinda okay – not as sticky or comfy as I expected. It's no deal-breaker, though. Folks generally like to tweak their grips to suit their style.
    
-   I'm not a big fan of the tapered knob on the ICON because I like to feel the handle more at the bottom (purely preference), but the handle feels fantastic.
    
-   The barrel cracked at the base of the handle. Travel ball practice starts this week and his brand new Icon is useless.

### Expert Notes ([Tony](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/batexperts))

The ICON is the new hot bat from Rawlings. It's the top bat in the market right now. In terms of sales, very popular. You've got a lot of guys online doing reviews on it. I think the hype comes from the merger between Easton and Rawlings. They've got a lot of technology and have come up with a really strong-performing bat this season.

Hype Fire

Easton continues to light up baseball with its latest innovation, the Hype Fire bat. The Hype Fire features state-of-the-art materials and engineering to deliver explosive power, unmatched speed, and precision control. Designed with input from professional hitters, the Hype Fire aims to elevate the game of any player who wields it, burning past the competition with every swing. Known for blending cutting-edge technology with unparalleled craftsmanship, Easton has been long been a favorite among players of all ages and skill levels.


**Perfect bat for:** The powerful young player that still gets to use USSSA Bats.


### Key features include:



* **Revolutionary Composite Technology:** Crafted for peak performance, offering superior durability and an expanded sweet spot.
* **Dynamic Feel System:** Provides the ultimate in energy transfer and feel for more power and efficiency in every swing.
* **Speed Cap Design:** Enhances the sound and feel of the bat upon contact, coupled with improved barrel flexibility for a bigger impact.

### Top competitors comparison: [Louisville Slugger Meta](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/baseball/bats/louisville-slugger/meta/l59403) and the [DeMarini CF](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/baseball/bats/demarini/cf-20/l59398)

The Easton Hype Fire aims to outshine competitors like the Louisville Slugger Meta and the DeMarini CF with its focus on a high-octane combination of power, speed, and comfort. While the Slugger Meta is known for its groundbreaking vibration-dampening system and the DeMarini CF for its balanced swing, the Hype Fire is engineered to capture the best of both worlds, adding a distinctive edge in aesthetics and ergonomic design to ignite the performance of any player looking to make a statement.


### Progression of the Easton Hype Fire Baseball Bat:


The biggest differences between the 2023 and 2024 is a redesigned TCT™ Barrel aimed at widening the sweet spot, improving off-center hits, and maximizing the overall performance area.


### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

**PROS**



* My son loves the 30", 5oz Easton Fire bat. It's hot straight out of the wrapper and feels lighter than his old one. The colors are bold but the grip is great. It has a normal composite bat sound and a well-balanced swing with a lot of pop. Highly recommended.
* My son switched to Easton Hype Fire bat after being a fan of Marucci for years. He loves the huge sweet spot, lighter weight and tons of pop. According to him, it's the perfect bat for USSSA.
* I love to see the confidence this bat gives my son. He's a very strong hitter, but with this bat, I see him being more patient, trusting his swing more, and hitting harder balls. 


**CONS**



* My son used this bat for about 2-3 months before small cracks in the bat started to form. He still used it because his old bat (30-inch -8 Demarini Zoa) was broken. It is an amazing bat but it probably won't last a full season in 13U baseball because of the speed.
* My son's new bat, a 30" (-8), has a small 1/2" crack after just two sessions of coach pitch BP with around 50 hits. It's brittle and we've never used it on a tee or machine. I'm surprised at how quickly it broke.
* I wish they were made stronger. It has great pop, great swing but the durability is lacking. Our original purchase cracked in a month and our replacement cracked in 2 months.

### Expert Notes ([Tony](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/batexperts))

The Hype Fire is the hottest, lightest swinging bat right now. The swing rate is very fast. It's a balanced, two piece composite bat. The first ones that came out had some breakage issues but they are now on that bat's second gen. We've not seen any of the new ones breaking. And to top it all off, it has the coolest paint job. The flames are yellow, orange, and red. The players love that.

Threat

### Expert Notes
Rawlings wanted to create a bat that’s meant specifically for smaller framed
players—and that’s just what they did with the Threat. The newest 2022 Threat comes
in an awesome Stars and Stripes themed colorway that we all
love, and delivers on its promise of enabling smaller hitters to swing with extra speed
through the strike zone. The 2022 Threat has evolved from when the series started in
2018 by adding even more width to an already expansive barrel—although I’ve heard
young hitters still love the 2019 Threat, as well (if only because of its neon green
colorway). If you seek a one piece composite bat that isn’t going to break the bank and
will benefit those who haven’t yet grown into their natural power, the Rawlings Threat
series stands alone.
